Sachi sits down, pulling Jake down beside her.

Xander sits at the side of the pond a little ways from Jayce's house. He sighed sadly, remembering when he and Jay had sat here together almost a year ago, after getting their eyesight fixed. He smiled then.
"These were our best moments, weren't they Jay?" He says aloud, smiling.

Jake smiles as he rests his head on Sachi's shoulder

Jay wakes up and wanders out of Xander's room.

Sachi wraps her arm around Jake's shoulder. She sees Jay.
"Hey Jay. Are you looking for something?" She asks.

Jay nods "Xander wasn't in his room. Is he alright?" Jay asks

Sachi nods.
"He's alright. He went out to the pond, right Jayce?" She asks, turning to Jayce.

Jayce nods, looking at Alpheratz, who had fallen asleep on her shoulder, his book on his lap.
"Yes, Alpheratz had seen him out there. My, I hope he doesn't drown himself by accidentally falling in." She says.

"I'm going to go check on him" Jay says with a nod, walking out the door and heading to the pond

Bushroot went crow again and went into a rotted tree where he now lived where his plant like being that entangled Quackerjack and got mad so he covered the hole and went mad.

"Must I always be ignored by them? I try to speak to them but they think of me like a cardboard cut-out! No matter, I'll keep you in here for awhile clown. You would be a great hostage," he said and left the tree, "plant creatures, keep him in order." He left the tree and went after Jay and Xander.

Xander heard footsteps. He jumped in surprise and his foot slipped on the side, falling into the pond water.
"Gosh darn it." Xander says, shaking his soaked shoe.

"Xander!" Jay yells, running to the pond

Xander turns in surprise.
"Jay? Are you okay?" He asks. His shirt and jeans were a bit soaked, showing that he had fallen in the pond fully at some point.

"Let me help you out," offered Negaduck helping him out of the pond.

"I'm fine, but are you alright? You're soaked!" Jay says

Xander sighs.
"Just taking a bath." He jokes, a smile playing at the corner of his lips.

Jay laughs "Sure you are" She jokes walking over to him.

Xander smiles.
"Hey Jay, you remember this place too, don't you?" He asks, looking out at the pond.

Bushroot sat on Negaduck's shoulder and dug his claws into his shoulder, Drake swatted at him to leave, but Reginald stayed.

"Of course. When we were able to see, this was one of the first places we went" Jay smiles

Xander smiles.
"You remember. That's why I came out here. I fell in twice though..." He says.

Jay laughs "Dork" She jokes "Of course I remember"

Xander smiles. He sits down cross legged at the pond side again, the moonlight reflected off his wet black hair.
"I don't ever want to forget." He says.

Jay sighs "I don't want to forget either" Jay says, laying back to look at the stars

"Jay, I'm...sorry." Xander says, laying back in the grass.

"What are you doing on my shoulder Bushy?" asked Drake.

"I need attention badly, and they ignore me," he replied.

"So am I, they treat me like an invisible box that's obnoxious," said Drake coming to a realization.

Perfect, soon he'll be my right-hand man... thought Bushroot, "We deserve respect from them, even attention." he said manipulating Negaduck.

"And we shall my accopmlice," replied Drake.

"And I have a master plan," he said grinning maliciously.

"No, I'm sorry. I was reckless, and I betrayed you." Jay said, looking to Xander.

Xander laughed.
"It's not your fault," he says, shaking his head, "I shouldn't have blown up because of that. I love you so much and you're so important to me. I really miss you." He says.

OCC: When can Bushroot become the antagonist?

"I deserved it though" Jay said, sitting up. "But I miss you too"

Xander smiles happily, a small tear running down his cheek. He pulls Jay into a hug, something he had wanted to do.
"You didn't deserve it at all. I miss you so much Jay." He cries.

Bushroot flew towards a meadow and found a diamond ring and flew towards Drake, "Give it to Xander or Jay, pitch an idea of marriage, and phase one'll be over." he said.

Jay hugged Xander tightly "I missed you too"

Xander looks at Jay, tears now flowing softly down his cheeks.
"I love you Jay. I'll never leave you again." He cries.

Jay begins to cry as she buries her head in Xander's shoulder "I won't betray you again" She says

Xander smiles and holds Jay close, kissing her on the cheek.
"I know you won't."

"Hey Xander, Jay!! I found something you may like!!" shouted Drake as he gave them the diamond ring placing it in Xander's hand

Jay kisses Xander on the cheek and smiles "I love you"

Xander smiles. He looks at the ring and nods at Drake. He takes Jay's hand in his and slips the ring on her finger.
"Our sign of getting back together." He says.

Jay gasps lightly "Xander.." She says, shocked.

Xander smiles.
"I swear on this day that I will never leave you, Jay." He says.

"I'll never leave you" Jay says, smiling. She hugs Xander tightly

Perfect, thought Bushroot, absolutely per- Just then a vine shot out and dragged him in the tree, "Oh right, the next phase." he said remembering.

Xander hugs Jay tightly and smiles.
"I'm happy. I'm sorry for everything Jay. For kicking you, for yelling at you, everything."

"I'm sorry for all my remarks." Jay said, hugging Xander still

"I'm sorry I made you cry." Xander said, and he pulls Jay into a kiss on the lips.

"And that's what my next phase will be, during there honeymoon I'll kill them with two voodoo doll's I've constructed. I only need a hair sample, NegaDuck, that's where you come in. You'll take they're sample's and bring them to me, then the fire shall do the rest!" schemed Bushroot, and with that, Drake muffled death threats due to the fact that Bushroot had betrayed him and sent shadowy doppelgangers of him and Quackerjack to do his devious deed.

"It's fine." Jay said, kissing Xander on the lips.

Xander smiles.
"It's not fine. I shouldn't have made you cry."

OCC: Can we make Bushroot the villain or should we not?

OOC: It's best if we didn't. We already have the Known Epidemic.

"It wasn't just you, I was in a lot of pain. I still am" Jay said, showing Xander her bullet wound.

OCC: Could Bushroot be part of the epidemic?
